Greetings, We are upgrading systems in our lab from rhel4 to rhel5. We've noticed a number of differences in behavior while using the same arguments on the same data set. We get different sent and received counts. We also had one case with some data corruption that was only fixed after telling rsync to checksum everything.
I was hoping someone in the list can point me to some better information. There are 2 points of interest. 1. When using the -z option, does rsync actually use /usr/bin/compress or does it use gzip? The man pages say it compresses data but doesn't specify what it compresses with. 2. I was looking for detailed documentation on behavioral changes of arguments between rsync versions. If I can't find anything in the documentation I'll post more details about specific behaviors later. Thanks, Jeff -- Jeff Cleverley Unix Systems Administrator 4380 Ziegler Road Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 970-288-4611 -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
